PROSPECTS or COERCION

The Tory Government has been marking time
during the debate Oh reform Of procedure. As
soon as the closure is voted in new form and
other changes in the rules have been ordered,
there must be an advance in the direction Of
Irish legislation. Coercion there must he, be-
cause the Liberal Unionists demand it, The
failure Of the ordinary law in the Dillon case
inevitably involves the introduction Of force
bill. in no other way can the illegaity Of the
Plan of Campaign be demonstrated. The law
must he strengthened before rents that are now
withheld can be collected under penalty Of
eyictiOns. But how can Coercion be justified
when the Governments Land Commission has
reported that the present rents are unfair and
the tenants unable TO pay them7 The attempt
10 strengthen the law will be met with angry
defiance in Ireland ard destructive criticism
in England.
Mr.. Gladstone, it has been announced will
lead in person the opposition to Coercion
This statement, which seemed incredible in
view of his championship OF coercion measures
in recent years as superior resources Of civil
ization,' becomes ineligible when the report

~ all kinds. The trucst because most intel
lirent friends of temperance who reply TO INC
questions of "The Detroit Tribune are dis
posed TO support High License. MS the one
clearly practical reform measure which has any
chance of being carried out honestly and fully /;
and this Is certainly the view which is obtain
ing the ascendancy all over the country among
those who are not involved in third-party
Prohibition.
High License appeals to the common sense OF
that great majority of men who perceive the
practlcability of things and govern themselves
accordingly Sentimentalists who think 1T
fine thing TO put principle before actual re-
form and who are content to mark time y all
thcir lives while worshipping such fetish,
of course will have nothing to do with policy
which has the drawback of being feasible. But
fortunately for human progress this kind Of
pcoplc will always be in n minority, and the
sound headed practical majority will determine
the lines upon which advance shall be made.
High License Is not an extlngulsher, but
muzzle and therein lies its advantage, for there
arc thousands of voters willing that the Kun
Power shall be muzzlcd to tens prepared to say
that total abstinence shall be enforced 10y law
Michigan public opinion is therefore in line WIN
that of Ncw-York, which demands High Lii
ccnse from the State Legislature at the present
timo. Politicians generally would do well to
examine the tendency Of public sentiment on
this question throughout the country. Ihcy
will then learn that the movement on behalf OF
High License is growing continually, and they
nav conclude from this that men who have any
ambition to stay in public life must be very
careful how they put themselves on record in
relation TO the drink evil.

THE BOSTON And PROVIDENCE DISASTER.

THE BOSTON And PROVlDENCE DISISIER
The list of railroad disasters is growing with
fiightfu rapidity This time it is commuters
train on a branch of the Boston and Providence
Railroad that plungcs through bridge, killing
moro than thirty persons outright, fatally
wounding half as many more, and lnfllctlng on
score of others injuries which they will feel
for the rest of their lives. One element OF
horror and destruction with which the public
has been taught of late to associate railway
wrecks was wanting-the victims were not
roasted But the officials of the company
should not be allowed to ignore the fact that
the deadly stove was on hand and ready to
perform its accustomed part in the tragedy.
One of the cars caught fire, but the scene of the
disaster was thiclly populated region, close
to great city: the engineer was awake TO the
emergency the fire companies OF the ncighbor-
hood received the alarm without delay, and the
flames were extinguishcd.
The proximate cause Of the wreck is said TO
have been broken truck. assisted by an i'm
properly constructed bridge. The official YER
dict Will be announced in due time, and it is
not necessary to anticipate it by an exact as
signmento of the blame But it is certainly not
too much to say that the disaster might have
been averted. 1t will not do to offer an in
scrutable Providence as the excuse. Perfcc-
tion is denied TO mortals and to the work Of
their hands, but if track and bridge and train
had been in the condition which the public has
the right to demand and the company the
power 10 secure, the passengers from Dcdham
to Boston would not have been hurled to de-
stIuction on a clear. mild morning. The Bos-
ton and Providence Railroad enjoys n rcputa-
ton for prudent liberal and skilful manage
ment which has been fairly earned, and it is
reasonable TO hope that the company will take
to heart whatever lessons this shocking en-
pcricncc has TO offer.
The catastrophe viii he peculiarly suggestive
to the thousands of New-York business men
who make their homes in the surrounding coun-
try. since it was trainful of men and women
going to their work in Boston whose journey
was fatally interrupted yesterday morning. The
task Of transporting commuters between this cit
and its cnvirons is performed with wonderful
degree of speed and safety. 1t is a marvel that
the intricate mechanism Of morning and even
ing travel through Ncw-Jcrscy. Long Island
and WcStchcStcr is found so generally equal 10
the demands upon it. The transportation COM
panics have undertaken this work and their
responsibility corresponds to lis magnitude and
difficulty In some cases travel has outgrown
equipment, and on more than one road running
out of the city old cars and locomotives which
ought to have been condemned long ago arc
daily brought into rcQuisition. it is TO bc
hoped that those who arc responsible for such
variations from the credtablc STANDARD gen
orally maintained VIII not need or receive re-
minder nearer home than Boston that under
certain circumstances only a slight defect may
produce a frightful result.

The accident on the Dcdham branch of the
Boston and Providence Railroad near Boston
was worse than at first reported. Over forty
persons were killed, and as many more injured.
Early in the day the cause of the disaster was
declared to be an "unsuspected' flaw in the
iron bridge; later, an old crack, eight inches
deep, was discovered in one Of the trusses near
an abutment Of the flaw, therefore, there can
be no doubt; but certainly it would not have
been unsuspected if the structure had been
thoroughly and frequently examined by skilled
engineers.

than the usual amount of their favonte sport
This summer. The mines Of Columbia, Prince
ton. Yale and Harvard colleges have formed
an association, and the games with Columbia
will take place On the Polo Grounds. Baseball
as played by these college clubs is not only
well played, but it has the additional recon-
mendation of being strictly non-professional
in its flavor. Moreover, so long as the Columbia
students belong to the association it Will re-
main so. TO be gentlemen players only is the
traditional policy of their college.

One of the most complete defeats ever suf-
sered by trades union in this neighborhood
Is that of the coopers who surrendered 10 their
employers yesterday Internationally. Their
strike was largely sympathetic" affair, and
was ordered by the Knights of Labor in all the
shops 10 carry one of their points in NJ. s. L.
Connolly's place. For four weeks tic strikers
have been idle and their families suffering
now they are going to work at reduced wages,
and nightly glad of tie chance, although 10
get it they had TO pledge themselves to leave
their union. This is severe blow at the
supremacy of Quinn g. Co., of Pythagoras Hall,
and We hope it marks a step in tic New ork

organized tyranny.

Geology as a Study for Girls.

wish to make here a note based
upon my personal observation. The
gis5 Of it is that girls and ladies possess
very decided relish for the study of
geology and aptitude in acquiring the
clements Of the science. I ought to add
that women Of all ages have been the
most enthusiastic readers and students
of the subject in all cases whore have
had personal cognizance Of the direction
of attention to it. In my university
work I find young ladies quite as en-
thusiastic as young men, and quite as
successful in acquiring exact and sub
stantial knowledge. Why should they
not? If powers of observation are
needed, the girl equals the boy as truly
in the inspection Of minerals, rocks, and
fossils as in the determination of a
specimen from the vegetable kingdom.
II Imagination is demanded; the girl
VIGOROUSLY possesses as ready gift as
us the boy. In the reasoning processes
Of generalization if the majority of girls
are not so apt as the other sex, many Of
them are equal, and all have aptitude
sufficient for the fundamental principles
of the science. 10 say the least, among

cal appliances, and in harvest
tlme 1nnnmerable reaping machines
are used. Nothing con be more start
ing than to see approaching huge
oa11efy, as it were, of the reapers,
drawn by three horses yoked abreast.
AS lar as the eye can see, over q vast
frontage, the line advances, and even
Ut long distance the revolutions of the
o. blades OF the mowers can be heard.
Ihe golden wheat falls in huge wind
rows. sometimes to be taken by other
machlnes and made into sheaves, or to
be handled by the harvesters. Mounted
posses" ride from point to point and
super'ntend the work. In blowing har-
rowing, sowing, the best and most ap.
proved labor-saving implements are
used. A Dakota wheat farm of good size
seems to be rather a factory where ce.
reals are to be produced than tract Of
land dependent on ordinary agricultural
methods. Such wheat farm when the
big line of reaping machines is on its
march lsa picturesque sight. Ali along
the front the machines are advancing.
II IS hot and heavy work, for the sun is
powerful in these regions, and there is
no shade. The boss scans the men at
their tasks, and in O few minutes, spur
ring his horse, may be far down the
line, directing the labor of other hands.
The sight is unique, for in no other
part OF the world can such a wheat
field be seen as in Dakota.
